Abstract

The influence of the status of planting materials such as mother rhizomes, primary fingers and secondary fingers on growth and yield of Kaempferia galanga L. was analyzed presently based on fifteen morphological characters.  The study showed that there was not so much of influence for the status of the planting material on the growth and yield of Kaempferia galanga L. It further has shown that depending upon the availability, planting materials of different status can be used for propagation on a large scale without compromising on crop yield.
